To restore your settings from a saved configuration file, enter the full path to the file on your
computer, or click Browse to browse to the file. When you have located it, click Restore to send
the file to the router. The router then reboots automatically.
Warning: Do not interrupt the reboot process.

Erasing the Configuration

Under some circumstances (for example, if you move the router to a different network or if you
have forgotten the password) you might want to erase the configuration and restore the factory
default settings. After an erase, the unit's password is password.
To erase the configuration, click the Erase button in the Settings Backup screen.
To restore the factory default configuration settings when you do not know the login password or
IP address, you must use the restore factory settings button on the rear panel of the router (see
"Restoring the Default Configuration and Password" on page

Upgrading the Software

The software (also called firmware) of the Wireless-N AccessPoint/Bridge is stored in flash
memory, and can be upgraded as NETGEAR releases new software. Your unit can download and
install the new software, or you can download upgrade files from the NETGEAR website and
manually send the upgrade file to the router using your browser.
Tip: To ensure that you are always using the latest router firmware, enable the Firmware
Upgrade Assistant feature so that the router will automatically detect a new version
of the firmware on the Internet and alert you to its availability.
The Checking for Firmware Updates screen appears at login unless you clear the Check for
Updated Firmware Upon Log-in check box.
A screen is also provided for upgrading the router. From the main menu of the browser interface,
under Maintenance, select Router Upgrade to display the Router Upgrade screen.
